guage installation

varmint · May 14, 2003

After reading about the Sunpro guage garage sale, thanks to Inspector507, I think, I checked it out, and got the 2 5/8" triple set for a modest $15- I installed them on my B8200, which had American Std. pipe fittings(!?) on the oil sender and at the thermostat housing, so no hassle installing the sending fittings. I will attempt to attach a photo of the pod I made to house the gauges.

Okay, but it's not a Kubota poster shot.

looks like a real handy machine-thanks for the reply. It is always nice to see what is out there. Lloyd

Varmint, nice setup. My B8200 has the speed control device right where your guage pack is, darn it. I need to get creative, just don't know where to put an oil press and water temp. Already bought em (1 1/2" faces) just don't know where to put em.

You have a sharp looking B8200, obviously taken care of.

Your installation is first class. I do have a question and that is, what is the pink thing on your keychain in the picture? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

It's Kirby!! He can fly. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Eat bad guys. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Spit bad guys out in rapid fire motion. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif He looks cute and cuddly but he is actually quite lethal. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Well, Daryl, it's a little plastic.... pig. My wife gave it to me; I have no idea why she'd give me a pig keyfob, but go figure?
I don't think it eats anything, good or bad. It certainly doesn't spit, or it'd be outta here. As for the comment about the tractor being well-cared for, consider A. it's a new toy B. I had just had it in the shop for the power steering install and the gauge business, and C. it's pretty amazing what scruffing around in 30" of CLEAN snow for a couple of days will do to clean up a tractor. The undercarriage was so clean I was thinking "show tractor". Now, it's starting to look more like a real tractor. Anyway, I'm having some fun.
